There will -be a meeting of officials of the New Haven road in New London today to make preliminary prepara- tions for the Yale-Harvard boat race on Jume 19. The New Haven road makes great preparations for the event and many arrangements will be dis- cussed at the meeting Tuesday.

The violent movements of the mod- ery dances naturally tend to - keep flesh down, but they also tend to put an extra strain upon the vital organs, especially ‘the heart, and so may dam- @ge the health more than assist it. Besides many people do not dance, some people do not believe in dancing and few people can afford the time to dance enough to = y accomplish much reduction. A better way to dis- soive fatty tissue easily and quickly without dieting is by taking the - notis treatment, made at home as fol- lows: Put 4 ounces {from your druggist's) in Y% ?hll hot water and strain when cool. tablesnoonful before .. meals weight is where you harm results from the. the ‘motis treatment, and the is “alig and mim;go&;um e oy A Y Social and dance by Third Co. at Next Sunday, the 24th, will be ob- served by some of the churches as Memorial Sunday.

Actual Measurements to be Worked Out After Foundation Plan is Set- teled. 4 Chief Engineer Edward Gagel of the New York, Ne wHaven and Hartford Rallroad Co. states that the plans for the new bridge over the Thames River are not fully completed. He says that the test borings for the test foundations have been made and finished and the next step will be to decide to the conditions found at the bottom of the river. Not until these foundations have been designed can the company’'s engineers know definitely the measurements and other specifications of the bridge. At the present time it is only known that it will be a double track bridge with a draw. The plans submitted to the public utilities commission do not give specific details. Theye merely include the proposed location and the distance above the river. FINAL WHIST. Colonial Club Closes Pleasant Series —<Conducted Through the eSason.

One of the best shows that has been here for quite a while can be seen at the Auditorium the first of this week. Even the movies are top notchers and the feature film is a thriller from the start to the end. It is a three reel Apex, entitled The Black 13. Rottanio and Cortilli, the opera sing- er and the fruit vender, are above the average vaudeville act and the pair give some very pretty and pleasing vocal solos. The elite comedian, Harry Montgomery, with his witty jokes and songs fills a good place on the pro- gramme. The SteWwart Sisters and Their Escorts are a classy team of six and with their gracefulness dancing would hold any audience. Several good motion pictures fill the bill in good order. FUNERAL Abraham C. Stager. At 3 o'clock Monday afternoon tha funeral of Abraham C. Stager was held from his late home, 252 West Main street. Relatives ana ma friends attended. Rev. George H. Strouse, the pastor, officiated at the funeral service and burial took place in Maplewood cemetery. The bearers were Joseph Burdick, H. Frey, Edward Crowell and O. Swain. There were a number of beautiful floral remembrances. Un- dertakers Church and Allen had charg= of the funeral arrangements Will Not Take Almy Property. The executive board of the United Workers have decided not to accept the offer of George W. Carroll regard- ing the taking over of the Almy prop- erty on Washington street for Shelter- ing Arms purposes. Mr. Carroll o fered to sell the place for $20,000, con- tributing $5,000 and his wife $1,000, to the Shelter Arms building fund, making the purchase price of the Almy property $14,000. The matter was giv- en considerable thought by the officers and mfen’s advisory board. They thought that the property is not just what is wanted for a new home and that too many alterations would be necessary. The maintenance expenses would also be large. The board thank- ed Mr. Carroll and expressed appre- clation of his offer. Examination of Game Warden. The state civil service commission lis desirous of getting a large number of candidates for its coming test for game warden on June 5 and suggests that men who know theslaw interest themselves in the appoiftments which are pending in the counties of Mid- dlesex, New . London Tolland and ‘Windham, so as to assure the state effcient service in these positions. At the last test held by the commission April 24 none of the candidates at- tained u minimum passing mark on ac- count of lack of familiarity with the fish and game laws. Had Pocket Book Taken From Him. On suspicion that he could tell about a pocket book that was taken from a boy who lives on McKinley avenue, Chief Linton had a small boy before him at police headquarters on Monday afternoon questioning him about the highway robbery. The matter is still being investigated. “PLAYING SQUARE” ‘When an advertiser puts his arnouncement ir the columns of this newspaper he thereby gives a pledge to the public. We believe he will keep faith or we would mot print his ad- vertisement The advertiser knows that his only chance of making his an- nouncement is to “play square.” There is a protection in deal- ing with advertisers that is not to be had ‘otherwise. They have made their prom- ises in the open—in the face of the world—and they must keep them or be discredited. The advertising in this news- paper is a reliable guide to the men who ‘play square.” | : t- | TV N 5 DR: H. M. POLLOCK The Norwich Medical soclety closed its year on Monday evening with its annual meeting and banquet held at the Wauregan house and having an attandance of 40 at the gathering. This included several delegates from New London, Willlmantic, and several Zuests. The guests were Major Hadlal A. Hull of New London, state’s attorney, and Col. Charles W. Gale of this city and the delegates were Drs. Oliver Winship and Daniel Sullivan from New London and Dr. W. P. Keating from Willimantic. The business part of the meeting was Soon over and by 8.30 the doctors were ready to sit down to the banquet in the big dining room of the hotel. Officers Elected. In the business meeting, the presi- dent, Dr. H, H. Howe of Yantic pre- sided, and the election of officers for the next year was the principal mat- The following were elected: Presi- dent, Dr. James J. Donohue; secretary and treasurer, Dr. Lester E. Walker. For the banquet the tables were set in the form of a hollow square within which was a pyramid of psalms and on the tables were baskets of cut flowers. In the hands of the capable staff of the hotel the banquet was ex- peditiously served and when the time for the post prandial exercises arriv- ed, Dr. Howe, the retiring president, filled the place of toastmaster in an admirable manner. The Doctor and the Law. He first introduced Major Hull for an address upon the Doctor and the Law. Major Hull assured his hearers that he was convinced that the medical profession was distinctly keeping abreast of the times. He felt that he had to make the confession that the medical profession had outstripped mel legal in this respect.. In an illustrating way, States Attor- ney Hull took up matters of court procedure and rules of evidence upon the points of reasonable doubt, char- acter, appearance of the accused on the witness stand, testimony of wo- men, dieing declarations and other points. Among some of these he found things that were illogical and not con- tributive towards the ends of justice. It is in failing to remedy this condi- tion that the legal profession has not kept up to the times, but there is a growing feeling in the highest legal minds to get away from these illogi- cal conditions. Taking up the matter of medical ex- pert’s where three doctors may be found to give one opinion and three an entirely different opinion, and where the public is always disposed to cry “Oh, they've sold out,” the state's attorney said that he felt like coming to the defence of the doctors for he pointed out that parralel conditions could be found in supreme court de- cisions where in a bench of nine judges, with the same facts before them, five judges would sometimes be found writing a majority opinion and four a migority opinion. He be- lieved that the cases where doctors sold out were fully as rare as where tha high courts sold out. He indicat- ed how the - hypothetical questions submitted could be so framed as to bring out two different opinions. A brief discussion upon Major Hull's address was conducted by Dr. Rush W. Kimball and Dr. H. M. Pollock. Travel Talk. Travel and the Traveler was the toast to which Col, Charles W. Gale responded in an interesting way with humorous incidents of a trip he made on a coasting vessel a number of years ago, and also of incidents at Hong Kong, Manilla, Tokio, Singapore and Mandalay. ing Physicians Speak. Dr. Daniel Sullivan of New London was cailed upon and in his responsée took up the matter of testimony by medical experts. Pleasant responses were made by Dr, Oliver Winship of New London and Dr. W. P. Keating of Willimantic, who were next called upon. The practice of Me .. The Practice of Medicine was the toast for Dr. E H. Linnell, who spoke of the self sacrifice and unremitting toil which comes to the life of a phy- siclan, which is a profession which no one ‘should undertake with the hope of large pecuniary reward. He enter- tained his hearers with some of the amusing as well as some of the try- ing experiences that come in the life of a physician. Sanatorium Superintendent. Dr. H. B. Campbell, superintendent of the Norwich state sanatorium, made response to the toast Fighting the Bugs, which he treated in an en- tertaining -way by relating some inci- dents that have occurred under his ob- servation. Then and Now. Dr, Anthony Peck, the oldest mem- ber. of the society and the only one of the original members living, made response to the toast Then and Now. He went back to the beginning of his entrance into the profession in Nor- wich 37 years ago when he landed in Norwich from New York and footed it to Norwich Town in a snowstorm be- cause he arrived too early for the horse car line that was then in exist- ence. He gave many interesting de- tails of the growth of the city since then, o The Old Physicians. Dr. Peck said he would speak from a text found in Genesis: There were giants in those days, and in this con- nection he gave brief sketches of the old ‘medical practitioners of the town. Of them he sald: 3 There was Dr. Farnsworth, a man with the roughest kind of an exterior and the kindest kind of a heart;, a man of keen perception and ripe judg- ment; a man in advance of his time. So Dr. Kinney has told me. Dr. Fuller was a surgeon known for his skill all over Eastern Connecticut. . Phinney was an ald-fashioned country .doctqr, an ex-army surgeon, who lived in Yantic for many years, re than once he brouglit me from the “eity-te B horse traveled mostly up ,, taking steps negrly sis long; and with every p, the | | chaise gave an antero-posterior bob: ‘but it was a delightful vehicle in which to ride, and did not require a ten sacre lot to turn around in. He seldom came to the city, but| pienish his stock of when he did it was probably to re- ’ 1 In those days our meetings were held {in the upper rooms o fthe Richards block. One night, after climbing the stairs and coming down again, he had an attack of angina. Dr. Almy and the writer attended him, in Sevin's drug store, until he was able to go home. A few months more and he slept with his fathers, Next there was Dr. Dyer, a kind- hearted, mild-mannered man, beloved of his patlents, who practiced in Nor- ‘wich more than fifty years ago. Next there was Dr. Kinney. He was the father of this cociety, the one who first proposed that we organize. He was neatness and elegance person- ified, a splendidly read physician and .a skilful therapeutist. He was the first doctor whom I met in Norwich. For.some reason or other he took me under his wing. To him I was indebted, not only for numer- ous kindnesses, but even for the life of a relative, who would certainly have died of puerperal fever,” but for him,. Dr. Kinney knew nothing then of the 7: thought it due but his therapeutics were splendid and equal to all demands. Dr. Carleton! How I looked up to him, and how I listened to the stories (true stories, too), of his wonderful operations. As keen an observer as Dr. Kinney told me that not even in Europe had he ever-seen a surgeon more skilful in the use of instru- ments. He operated on Dr. Paddock, for appendicitis, and saved his wife, many years before that word was coined, and before aseptic surgery was even dreamed of. Think of the nerve required to do that operation, with no hospital fa- cilities, with no trained nurses, with no knowledge of germs; at a time when to open the abdominal cavity, or even the knee joint, was considered :e{'u.in death. I think it was wonder- ul! Many years ago I often saw a man wearing green glasses. On asking him as to his trouble, his reply was “Too much Carleton!” Just think of it. Op- erated on long before the discovery of cocaine; operation done under ether, and often utterly spoiled by the vom- iting and retching following the ether, at a time when no man on earth knew how to adjust glasses to overcome the great amount of astigmatism follow- ing operation for cataract, and yet with a fair amount of vision he had nothing to say but “Too much Carle- ton!” Oh, well, we've all been there. Then there was Dr. Paddock, the last one_.of my day to pass over the river. A man not over-strong physically, but with a stalwart mind, scholarly and well read; one whom I met many times in/conguitation, and who was never ranting. were the giants of my youth- 7 were, but are not. But te still two-others who yet linger with us, God bless 'em. You yeunger men can hardly under- stand how I miss them here tonight. Dr. Perkins, with his calm, genial face, always smiling, always with a good story up his sleeve, which none could better tell; a face worth a fortune to its owner and a godsend to his pa- tients. A If someone should slap me on the back and shout “How are ye, me b'y?” I would not turn round. I'd jus tsa; “Hello, Cassi Where did you come from?” and he'd say: ‘“T've just come from everywhere!” I used to think that onme could find Dr. Cassidy on every street in Nor- wich, any hour of the day or night. Haven't you seen the doctor in his carriage, a thousand times, sitting on the edge of the seat, and every ten seconds shouting ‘Go ’long! Go ‘long?” and the old horse does “Go ’long” for at least three or four steps, then slack- ens his pace; for the nag knows Dr. Cassidy just as well as the doctor knows the nag. The house of Cassidy has never taken kindly to automobiles, but ob- serving ones have noticed that the doctor’s horses get there, with four feet, and the doctor gets there, with both feet. Our sincerest sympathies go out to Dr. Cassidy, because of the great sor- row that has recently come to him; a sorrow that is sure to come to some of u N my text says “There were giante in those days, Just plain glants; not angels; not even saints. I never noticed any halos hovering ; above their heads. Giants are human, subject to all the weaknesses and lim- itations of humanity, just as we are. There is an old Latin proverb begin- ning with the words “de mortus nil.™ That was a wholesome saying. Who- ever first uttered those words must have had a kindly heart and a keen; sense of the fitness of things. As these worthies recede further and further into the past, let us behold their virtues through the big end of the telescope; and if we look at their shortcomings at all, let us turn ihe glass around, even as we hope those who follow may do for us. In our hours of discouragement, when failure attends our best efforts,; we may find some comfort in the words of Sereca, two thousand years: ago: “If a physician has done all in his power to effect a cure, he has per- formed his duty.” ‘Tis not in mortals to command success: but we may all! do better, we mak deserve it, and not | evsn giants, saints or angels can do: more than that. A burst of applause greeted the doc. tor as he concllded. Unity and Harmony. Dr, P. J. Cassidy spoke to the toas Unity and Harmony, urging that pr fessional harmony would work for the ; good. both of the profession and th public. He expressed his regret to; have to admit that there seemed to be an undesirable lack of harmony in the profession in general, yet Norwich ! seemed to be favored with as much harmony in the profession as any place. for this organization inciudes all schools. He spoke of the three dif- ferent examining boards in the state, which does not raise the standing of the medical practitioners, and he was glad to say that this county stood for a single examining board. Dr. Howe, the toastmaster, closed the evening with a few appreciative words of the late Dr. Leonard B. Almy and Dr. George R. Harris. Baby Whirlwind at Allyn’s Peint.
